Dates: 11th and 12th September 2024 from 4-8pm (UTC)

Location: online

The ICRS Student and Early Career Chapter (SECC) is hosting a grant writing workshop conducted by Butler Scientific Communications. Kaycie Butler is a scientific writing consultant (and founder of Butler Scientific Communications) and has years of experience helping scientists in the USA and Europe with various aspects of science communication. She is a scientist by training, and thus understands the intricate nature of manuscript and grant writing.

As students and early career researchers (ECRs) begin their careers, strong manuscript and grant writing skills are necessary to be competitive within the field. The amount of training students and ECRs receive in these areas vastly differs. Some students finish their graduate programs having never submitted a proposal or manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal but are expected to have these skills as they begin their career in academia. To address this imbalance in training, the SECC is running two workshops this year: 1) grant writing and 2) manuscript writing.

Note: this opportunity is only available for active ICRS members who are either current students or ECRs (defined as being within five years of graduating from your most recent graduate degree and not in a tenure-track position). Applications from individuals who would not be able to access similar training opportunities due to funding or access disparities will be prioritised. 

You may apply for either this grant writing workshop OR the manuscript writing workshop at this link by 8th August at 11:59pm UTC.
